Seeing the Surgeon (feeling sad) *cancer* 

Hi my loving tiffanythinks family. I hope you’re all having the best day. I love you lots & lots my tiffanythinks family. we got this💙 IG, FB & TikTok: @tiffanythinks. Subscribe💙

You brought people from all over the world together for a common goal to support a lovely young woman. We got this! 💙

This pre op anxiety is hard to get through. This might cheer you up: I live by a river in northern NSW in Australia and I heard splashing when I woke this morning.....3 dolphins were jumping around having a grand old time outside my bedroom window!! Life is good sometimes and God is good always. Bless you, Matt and beautiful mum. X

Living with the bags is going to be rough, starting out. There are so many steps to putting on the bag: the wipes to prep the skin, the powder stuff, the adhesive that goes on the skin, the bag, etc. But you get accustomed to it. Word of advice: don’t go out right away, until you get used to it. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for possible leaks. If you do go out, take a second set of clothing, just in case. In my experience, the leaks are from folds in the skin. But you are young. That may not be an issue. Buy a small electric hand fan. This will come in handy, because when you use the wipes to prep the skin, it must be perfectly dry before you add the adhesive. You do got this, Tiff. You will get accustomed to this. You’d be surprised how many people have these, but you wouldn’t know. They make them easy to conceal and difficult to see. This isn’t a bad thing that’s about to happen. It’s a different thing. It’s a new normal for you. If you begin feeling overwhelmed or frustrated, just remember, it will get easier. You will get accustomed to it. The important thing is they are removing the cancer. We are all praying for you, Tiffany. ❤

As a mum of a 36 year old daughter with blood cancer, I can really empathise with Amma. She is a such a good mum to you and your sister. You are doing so well and in a few months this will be behind you and you will be recovering with the rest of your life to look forward to. Xxx

It's ok to cry Tiffany. It's ok to feel sad. You're facing the biggest battle of your life & even though all of your loved ones are with you, it's YOU that has to take the big steps. Before my surgery, I started to get annoyed with people telling me how strong I was. I wanted to yell I'M NOT STRONG! But I didn't. I just locked it away inside like you are doing right now. I finally found a place & a time where I could break down & howl. For me, it was in the shower after everyone had gone to bed. I cried more tears in that shower than I thought possible. But as my tears went down the drain, it was like that howling part of my mind was comforted, at least for a little while. Tiffany you know that we all see how amazing Matt & Umma are. We hear their love & concern in every single video. You're incredibly blessed but it's also ok to feel that you're incredibly unlucky too. When I was at a similar stage to you it was such a rollercoaster & processing the information (which was essential) was like being in the Twilight Zone, it didn't seem real! The words related to someone else, not me. And then...whoooop...the carpet was pulled from under my feet & there was no more preparation time. After all the planning, it turned into an emergency. The opening night was upon me & I wasn't ready but everyone else was. The surgeon's, anesthesists, theatre staff, nurses, radiologists, all of the team had studied & practiced so they could be with me in that operating theatre for the next 14 hours. They were doing what they had trained for their entire lives. They took my body apart & then with incredible skill & care they reassembled it in an entirely new configuration. They planned, they practiced, they took their time to give me a fighting chance. They poured their hearts & souls into me. They knit themselves into my being. They persevered. They overcame. They didn't stop until they had done every single thing they could do to give me a new life. Your team will do exactly the same for you. Every specialist has YOU at the centre of their plan. They have studied & learned over the years, through blood sweat & tears to do everything they can to help you. All of them, just like you, have been tempered by fire. They are surgeon's because they are the best of the best. You, as their patient are doing everything you can to give them a fighting advantage. You are not a silent bystander, you are part of an immensely powerful team. They might not know it yet, but each & every one of them is part of the Tiffany Thinks Team 😊. Strong people don't banish fear, they face it. Strong trees bend in the wind. Strong people hunker down, preserve their energy & come out to methodically face the new challenges in their path. They find strength from the most unexpected sources. Just like you will. Just like your team will too. You are so much stronger than you think Tiffany. You will come to recognise that in the years ahead. Your grace in the face of adversity is a lesson to us all. Your beautiful soul is a shining example to all of us facing challenges. You should hold your head up high & announce to the world, I AM TIFFANY! AND I'VE GOT THIS! And in time, each and every one of your surgical, after care & rehabilitation team will say the same. Because YOU dear Tiffany, are the one that makes the difference. You are the centre of their current universe, and ours 🤗 I know I speak for us all when I say, we hold you very close in our heart💕❤️♥️

Have you considered seeing a therapist to deal with all of the changes you are going through/will face? It's important to confront your new reality and grieve the reality that you once had. Things will be especially difficult/different after surgery. Therapy (group or individual) sounds like a good idea.

Matt is a dream come true for you. They way he looks at you is every woman’s dream to find someone who loves so deeply. You got this!

Tiffany, I watch your videos all the time and I never comment but this video made me super emotional. Your mother loves you SO much it actually brings me to tears. I know mums love their children but it's so contagious how much she loves you like you'll never ever have to doubt it. I'm so glad you have such an incredible support system of people that adore you. You make so many peoples lives better and bring people so much hope and joy. I'm just thinking about how in 50 years time you'll be able to look back at these videos and your incredible legacy. Thank you for sharing your life with us and never sugarcoating even the ugly parts, the world is a better place because it has you and your entire (equally as incredible) family. Bless you.

I had cancer and all the treatments in 2016. Somehow now that it is over I never think about it. Its almost like it never happened. My brain almost refuses to think about it. Its really strange how your mind heals and urges you on. You'll see. You will be happy and whole again.

As a mum myself Tiffany it doesn’t matter how old your children are you still worry and you would do anything to take the pain away and make things better for our children Mums worry constantly so , Amma of course wants to be with you and Matt . You and Matt are a lovely couple . You got this Tiff and the Christmas trees look lovely by the way 🎄

You will be absolutely fine Tiffany. Being scared is absolutely ok. I’m a doctor and I’ve seen people go through enormous operations and adapt incredibly. You have youth in your side and my grandfather( who also was a surgeon!) always said youth is eternally resilient ❤️

Tiffany you are amazing ! I can’t begin to express the love and kindness that you share with all of us. I am 74 and have been in your Tiffany thinks family for a very long time. You are going to finish this journey and dance cancer free in front of those hospital doors…I know it we all know it! Stay strong trust in the strength God and your beautiful family share with you. We love you, we are in your corner WE ALL GOT THIS!

I love the way Matt hugs you, with his hand on your cheek. He is so gentle, and your Mom is awesome. And you are a miracle.

Being strong and crying are not mutually exclusive. There is no prize for being stoic. There is strength in confronting your feelings. It will help you process what’s happening and cope with it. 💙💙💙

My mumma passed almost 4 years ago from lung cancer. We always had a joke about my being a Ho Ho Ho at Christmas time. She always bought me something with Ho Ho Ho on it. I just unpacked this beautiful cushion cover with Santa and Ho Ho Ho on it. I started to sob. I was listening to your video at the same time. My mum was a jaffa lover. When you mentioned the jaffa don't I burst into tears. She sends me messages just when I need them. Bless you sweetheart. You are a breath of fresh air. The love of your family will guide you all through. Thank you for sharing your journey. I think my mumma came through you. You are a force to be reckoned with!

I wish you could SHARE YOUR MUM, she is adorable. YOU HAVE GOT THIS TIFFANY. 💙💙💙

Give yourself grace to feel what you feel. You are on an emotional and physical roller coaster...ups and downs are expected. After surgery and recovery...we'll start looking for lots of ups. We've got this! Love and prayers.

Matt are Amma are just the best people anyone could have by their side. You'll always be your mums child, no matter what age you are. So she needs to know everything when you do. Or she'll be worrying, and Matt is your strength and the voice of reason. He also has this cheeky infectious smile to lighten the moment. Hang in there Tiffany and think of some lovely plans for when you're better xxx

Tiffany if you weren’t emotional I would be worried. However you are showing everyone the truth about cancer and how it changes people’s lives. I have been cancer free for 11 years and I still get emotional when I go for check ups. God has you in his hands. He gots this! Prayers to you, Matt, Alma, and your family.💙

Matts laugh is awesome. Let yourself feel whatever you need to feel. You have a huge journey ahead of you and are so incredibly brave xx

For all of us here, you are such a brave little warrior . We are with you. We got this

Do you know what your going through... you have every right to feel any way u wanna feel.. scream if u need to.. u don't always have to paint a smile on your face .. you are going through something absolutely huge... none of us know what your dealing with... but we're all here with u on this journey.. YOU GOT THIS TIFF.. luv from Ireland 💚🍀🇮🇪

Just be yourself Tiff. Release whatever emotion is inside you. Laugh when you want to, cry when you want to, be sad or upset or just sulk, if you need to, just do what you feel. We appreciate you- we will always be by your side . Love and prayers always

I agree as a Momma myself let her go if she chooses ❤️ she's the best!!!

It is important to feel those sad feelings of grief over what you are facing! Validating the shock and sadness helps move through the grief. We are here sending love and support. We GOT this!

You have every reason to feel sad - after the surgery and recovery , you’ll feel much, much better.

I have cancer diagnosed just this year. I have found that when I am not myself, I must not forget that it is okay to mourn myself and accept my limitations at any point during this journey.

I agree with many others - Tiffany, give yourself time to process what you are told at appointments. Everyone in your tiffanythinks family wants only the best for you and we can wait to hear after you get time with you and Matt just to breathe and soak in what you have been told. We have this, Tiffany, you and all of us here. Prayers for lots of good sleep and rest.

I know some people who did the operation and it seems it has a high success rate they are living a completely healthy life ..we will pray for you and you will get through all this inchallah🙏🏼

Your journey is going to inspire so many, give support to individuals and families going through cancer and equally educate those who luckily do not have to experience colorectal cancer first hand. I can see you post-surgery continuing to raise awareness, inspire, create body confidence and advocate for people living with stomas all over the world.

Tiffany: Brushes hair: looks like a model Puts on ONLY mascara: looks like a supermodel Also Tiffany: Oopsy! I've gone overboard with all the makeup! 🥰

Loving your beautiful smile Tiffany, you are standing strong against cancer! You got this! And we got this with you! 💙💙💙

Facing a life altering procedure you certainly should vent and grieve and share your feelings with your family and whoever. When my brother awakened after his accident and realized he was paralyzed he not only cried but screamed cursed and had the hardest time accepting things. He was A superb athlete and physically one of the strongest people to walk this earth. With help from a therapist he accepted his body the way it now was and made a life for himself just as you will but it’s not gonna be easy and will take quite some time to adjust. 🙏✝️

Oh Tiffany my darling girl you are such a special girl never known anyone with such strength and positivity sending prayers to you and your wonderful family.

Tiffany, as the mother of 4, 3 daughters & 1 son. All grown now. This video has me sobbing. As a mother I know we would do anything & everything for our children. Amam & Matt’s love & strength along with yours, is a beautiful thing to see. I will continue to pray & think of you daily & I can’t wait for the day this will be all behind you. 💙💙💙

Your mum is amazing and so supportive . She shows her eternal love for you . God bless you all .

I just lost my cousin to Cancer last night. Your strength and courage is what keeps me going. God bless you and your family.

Hello Tiffany, Matt and Amma!! Tiffany, I just want to say how much I appreciate the time and energy you put into your videos for us. I consider it an honor to be able to take a little glimpse into your life and I know you’re helping so many people. We’re all quietly routing for you and can’t wait for that boomerang day!!! Keep the faith as you’ve GOT THIS!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

You can always take the time before surgery to educate yourself on how care of your body will look like after surgery. That way once it’s done it won’t be so overwhelming and you’ll know what to expect.

Dear Tiffany, the song you've been singing in the car with Matt was All You Need Is Love by The Beatles which happens to be my absolute favorite band ever. The lyrics are so touching and I think they can give you hope when there's a dark moment. There's nothing you can do that can't be done Nothing you can sing that can't be sung Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game It's easy Nothing you can make that can't be made No one you can save that can't be saved Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time It's easy There's nothing you can know that isn't known Nothing you can see that isn't shown There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be It's easy I wish all of this for you and that it might make you strong when you maybe sometimes you think you can't be. You've got this! Lots of love from Germany, lovely. :)

I am so in awe and wonder as to how I can have so much love for people I've never met! You, Matt and Ama are the picture of sweetness and grace. Your love and support for each other knows no bounds! God is so proud of all of you for how you are handling this more than difficult situation. He has big plans for each of you, Tiffany. Never give up on or doubt that, sweet girl. You've got this! 💙

I am always so grateful when you post but don't feel obliged. You always focus on you as this is a brutal time for anyone and I'm glad you have Matt and your lovely mom to hold your hand and get you through this.

Hey Tiff, I'v been watching you now for just over a year and was with you at the start of this cancer journey. I cant believe its been a whole year already. You are doing such an amazing job holding yourself together and getting through each day. You are an inspiration and a positive role model on grace and gratitude. You hold yourself so well and never grumble about your cancer journey and that is a huge credit to you. I really hope you can find some peace in this madness. As always be well and take care. Please give my regards to Matt and your lovely mom. xx

It’s fine to feel upset , cry, frustrated and laugh at the same time. Pain meds does not help either . You got this

Tiff, it’s okay to mourn all you are facing. I know it must feel like a rollercoaster ride. Continuing to pray for you and your precious family. 🥺🙏☝🏼💙

Precious Tiffany, I pray you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you giving you peace and encouragement! You are loved by many and deeply!

On your own you’ll feel overwhelmed, you’re being so brave but if you want to cry girl you cry x You’re such a lovely young woman, I love Matt and his giggling!... and your mother, well she’s such a beautiful soul. PS. I think the song you were thinking about was All You Need is Love by The Beatles, and that’s all we need my lovely girl, we got this 💝

Much love Tiffany!!! You have got this, much love xxx PS its lovely to see the love between you and Matt xx

I am 5 months pregnant and had a bad fight with my husband and feeling lonely and sad. And I have come to hear Tiffany a bit to feel better. See what you are doing to people all over the world 😊Your Christmas tree and decorations look lovely btw!!

You and your family are in my thoughts every day. Your strength and sweetness help so many others….just want you to know that. Please let others be strong for you as well.

An amazing family. I have had bowel surgery twice. I know this is nothing compared to what you are about to go through. Please stay on top of your pain. You are showing all of your tiffanythinks family what you are made of. Strength and faith.. you got this.

Even through the tears you are always so strong. You're like the bull in the china shop, just plowing your way through to full recovery. I keep you always in my prayers!

Dearest Tiffany, this operation is the doorway to the rest of your healthy, happy life. So focus on your safe world on the other side of the doorway, it's waiting for you and you can look forward to it. My dad had bladder cancer and had to have it removed and a stoma bag fitted. He coped beautifully. He said worrying about having it done was so much worse than the actual operation (9 hours and many organs removed) The pain was managed and eventually it passed. I'm thankful you have this opportunity to have all the nasty stuff removed and a bright future ahead of you. You've got this, we've got this! 🧡💛💚❤💜

Therapy. Therapy. Therapy. When your recovering you will not be able to “keep yourself busy” ie distract yourself from the overwhelming feelings. This is not normal and you / anyone needs to process this. I’m praying for you with ❤️

When you get sad, try to remember we all love you and are here for you!

The thing is to get all this behind you. Prayers and hugs for you. You are so lucky to have Matt and your lovely mum❤ You got this!!

Tiffany before the surgery could could you let us know your PO Box if you have one? I suspect a lot of us might like to send you something to cheer you up. You’ve got this!❤

Mascara looks great, Tiff. You're so beautiful. I pray for you all the time and hope in your sadness that you know we viewers adore you. I'm so glad to see you loved so affectionately by Matt and your wonderful mom and extended family. Your aunt's Yankee Candle advent calendar is awesome. She knows you so well. Very thoughtful of her. Hugs to you, Tiffany.

I think the moment you've been waiting for is so near now but its still very daunting, the change it will bring but the life it will give you...priceless! We got this, much love to you allxx

Everyone deserves a Matt for Christmas. 🎄🎄

One tip Tiff - Get yourself to a dietician. Cut out refined sugars, air and oil fried foods, processed grains (white carbs), eat as much raw fruit and vegetables as possible. Add healthy fats to gain calories/weight for your op such as avocada, peanut butter etc. You got this! Xx

Tiffany you are so strong and beautful and you are surrounded by love. You are going to win this battle , and we are all going to be with you. You have got this hun xxx

Tiffany wondering why you do not have any photos or pictures on the walls in your house? It always gives me such a warm feeling to look at a nice painting or maybe a friendly face on the wall that it is kind of puzzling to me that your walls are so bare other than the twinkling lights. Take Care!

Your strength and energy are incredibly admirable. Without a doubt, you got this!

Girl, you are so strong! Of course you can feel however you want. You bounce right back each time!! You are amazing! 💙 YOU GOT THIS!!

I think you’re an incredibly brave young woman. Lots of love 💙💙

Sweet baby girl, you are so brave and loved. I am praying for you everyday. Your house looks so warm and inviting. You deserve the world. I am so glad you have Matt and your family. Your mom and family are amazing. God bless you Tiffany!❤️❤️🙏🙏. We are here for you, we got this together, your whole Tiffanythinks family!!!!!

Love hearing you and Matt laugh together 💙 it's adorable

You're on such a roller-coaster of a journey Tiffany with ups and downs. You're handling everything amazingly. You are a true inspiration and allow yourself to be sad and share with Ama and Matt. We all need support and with everything you're going through you always manage a laugh and a smile. Hope you're nice and cozy and ready for the jungle final. You're our We Got This Queen👑. 12 stars⭐ all the way. Sending love always Bernie Dublin. 💙.

Roller coaster feelings are normal in your current situation. Keep doing what you’re doing Tiffany, so many people thinking about you.❤

Tiffany, You are doing great! It is okay to have good days and sad days and thinking about what is going to happen with your surgery. You are human and you are allowed to cry, laugh, be silly, be melancholy. Don’t apologize for being human. Just be yourself. You are amazingly strong and brave. You and God got this. We love you.

Thanks for the update Tiff. This time will go by and as you said it will be a blurr in the rear view mirror. If in the beginning I knew the final outcome of my cancer surgery I would have felt that I couldn’t deal with it. But here I am 10 yrs out and I’m well adjusted to my life. You’ll get thru this and you’ll go back to the everyday troubles and joys of life. 💙🧡💜❤️

A star for a star and that's what you Tiffany a shining bright example to all of us, you are the kindest caring person for all you are going through you still put others first. Keep strong as ever prayers from Ireland X

Tiffany, don't keep your emotions in. That's why we have them. Just let whatever your feeling, when your feeling it, Let it out, no matter what it is! It is a Release and tends to make you feel better. Matt is an Amazing, Wondering Man who loves you so much and Alma , well you couldn't ask for a Better Mum!! I can't imagine what your going through, but Hang on Tight to Your Loved Ones. I've had a Mental Breakdown and have No One but my emotional support Dog which I'm grateful for, but nothing beats having the Love of Family and Friends. Prayers always darling! ❤️

Tiff, I can relate to the graph of your emotions. One moment it is very high, positive and in a fraction of a second reality strikes and you feel sad and you think about how your life is going to go from here. I had seen my brother go through these emotions when he was having his treatment. Through my experience I would like to say something because I now wish, this is how my thought process should have been when my brother went through it. 1) do not go for a treatment or surgery because of your loved ones. It builds up immense pressure on the person going through it (you). If at all anything goes wrong, you will start feeling guilty thinking you did not try enough or do enough. 2) Do the treatment or surgery if you and only you feel that this is what I want to do without having the pressure of thinking what if things dont work out and I let my loved ones down. I hope you are able to understand what I am trying to say. I really hope and pray that things work out for you and you get to live a happy life. Nobody's life is perfect, so you are not alone. I love your spirit and I wish lots of love, hope and happiness to amma and your lovely family.

Honey,cry and let out all your emotions Totally natural and healthy Amma and Matt are such an amazing support and want to be with you every step of the way Yes,the Journey a head is going to be incredibly tough and exhausting Then,hopefully you will recover well and get your life back Hugs,my dear 😊

I love you and Matt’s relationship, you always make each other laugh❤. I’m sure it is so hard waiting for the final surgery date and thinking of recovery. Tiffany, you are so incredibly strong, and with your support system, you will overcome all the obstacles that come your way. We💙Got💙This!

It's not long now before you can put this all behind you. Tiffany it's normal to have your sad days. None of us can be strong all the time. Let it out when you need to. We are here for you no matter what. If you don't want to take it out on Matt or Amma. Then you can vent here so you can feel better. We love you sweetie and are here for you through it all. 💙💙💙WE GOT THIS!!!💙💙💙

Oh bless you Tiffany, I'm not surprised you are feeling so sad, each time you see your surgeon, it will bring everything back to you about your op. Keep remembering that once this op has been done, you will be cancer free....how wonderful that will be. You will get through this op with all the positive energy you have, and your strength too. Matt, Amma and all your friends, and family and all of us, will help you through it all. Lots of luv to you Matt and Amma XXXXXX

You both deserve all the lovely Christmas gifts, in the world, just because you are such nice people, you, Matt, Amma and the rest of your loved ones, dear Tiffany, love you all en I keep on praying 🙏😍 It’s normal you are feeling sad, it’s not a small thing Tiffany, I have had the same after my breastcancer, now 9 years ago, and my heart attack 3 years ago, and I cried lots of tears .... we’ve got this ❤️

May you be completely healed soon...God bless you with energy...courage , peace and a quick healing!!

You are doing so well, ride that rollecoaster of emotion, whatever it throws at you, you're nearly there! We got this 💙💙💙

You are such an inspiration to everyone. You also have the best support system. Your loving Matt and your beautiful Mom

I really wish that you would have been able to speak to a professional about your feelings so that they could give you coping skills because keeping yourself busy & not dealing with what lies ahead of you isn’t healthy. This will be the biggest surgery for you & I feel that if you’re mentally prepared as best as you could be is the best medicine. Just like you have to get your body ready for surgery you need to get your mind ready too! I know you had the referral from a while ago & I’m sure that it takes a while but when you see your other surgeon tomorrow perhaps you could ask them about it & maybe they can get you in before your surgery. The mental aspect is just as important as the physical aspect of what you will go through & I know it’s a lot so that’s why I’m really hoping that you can speak with Doctor that can prepare you because it’s one thing to have a colostomy bag & it’s a totally other thing to get used to the fact that everyday that will be something that you have to learn to deal with. I want you to be prepared the best you can that way it will be easier for you all around. Will the Surgeon schedule a family meeting where they can all know what exactly will happen so that they will know how to help you? I know it’s a lot & I’m scared for you too! I pray 🙏🏼 everyday that God puts his loving hands on all of the Surgeons & nurses that will be caring for you ❤️🙏🏼 We got this! 💙

Hi Tiff❤ It is like a rollercoaster dealing with cancer. Try to eat, rest and take small walks to get strength. It will be much for you after surgery but you will be surprised of what strength you have. I'we never meat a person like you, such a tender heart and i wish i could protect you from all this. I'm a rectocancer survivor, i have spent 4 years now trying to make the best of my new and often difficult life. But we must do the best of it. Don't give up, fight back. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers for you. We got this💙

Baby Tiffy please if it's not too much trouble set up your PO box so we can send you letters in time for your surgery and Christmas! ❤💙🙏🏻

This is my first time posting. I am in awe how strong and selfless you are. Keeping busy is key but at any time you feel like being sad, be sad. Feel all of your emotions. You owe no one an explanation. Also let your mom be there for you. Its part of being a mom. I'm a mom of a 39 y/o daughter and I would do the same it she was in your position and you know that you would do the same if the situation were reversed. Not everyone could go through this with such grace. God Bless and my heart felt prayers go to you Tiffany. Of course, YOU GOT THIS.

The name of the star (lamp) you recived is Stråla. In Swedish that means Shine/Radiate. so it fits you like a glove ❤

You are so precious! Praying everyday, Tiffany, and your darling Matt and Mom. 🙏🏻😘✝️💙

Tiffany you are truly the most caring and lovely woman. I know you will be okay at the end of this beyond difficult time. We are all here for you - from around the world We.Got.This. So much love to you and your family. xx

Tiffany, I watch your videos and see how mentally and emotionally strong you are. Being emotionally strong doesn't mean you will never feel sad or anxious. It means you face your fears and deal with them. I see you do this all the time. I'm praying for you, Amma and Matt. You have blessed so many people with your beautiful sweet personality. God has you in his hands. You've got this, we've got this. Much love from the America.

You're getting ready to cross the finish line!! Whenever you are sad, try to remember it COULD be non-operable but it's not, right?? So you're coming closer to your boomerang! Thank God !!! I'm terminal with zero chance of survival and yes we get stronger with what we have endured. We've got this!!💙💙💙

You and Matt giggling made my day 💙💙 You got this dear Tiffany 💙

Having lived with a family member that was in dire straights, you don't want to be the patient that the doctors drop everything to meet. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to go back and forth constantly, but you've got this. Hugs.

Tiffany how you are feeling is completely normal. Your body takes time to digest all of this information and things come out later on. It’s your bodies way of coping. You have 2 incredibly wonderful human beings by your side your mum and Matt who give you strength to keep pushing through. Speaking from experience all of what your going through will be a blur given time and you’ll be able to live your life as god intended. Stay strong.❤❤❤

I imagine that it is really difficult to remain upbeat all of the time. I think it's important to feel what you're feeling with no guilt. I watch each day to see if you've posted, yet it is more important that you do what is best for YOU, so post when you feel like it. I pray for you every day that you get the date for the surgery and then get everything taken care of. Take care 💙

We love you Tiffany. The waiting is very stressful and full of “what if’s” and all of that would make anyone feel sad, scared and emotional. Give yourself permission to be sad, shed some tears and to feel all of the feelings....Matt and Amma understand and will be fine. Eat plenty of protein and prepare your body the best you can for your surgery. YOU’VE got this and WE ALL are here to support you, Matt and Amma. 💙

Ah sweet girl, you are an inspiration, you really are. Your mood being up and down is bound to be completely normal, you're going through a challenging time (to say the least!) But I think you're dealing with it all so beautifully, and I'm sure your faith is making a big difference. Be kind to yourself and you'll get through it. Praying for the very best for you!!! You got this, for sure💙

Your mom is such a darling! She is so supportive, and be beside you for everything. People would die to have a mom like yours. I agree if your mom wants to go let her go. She wants to be active with you in ever step. So let her do so.
